What kind of films screen here?

It's arthouse and independent cinema, not mainstream blockbusters or kids' movies. Think festival-quality stuff with subtitles. If your teen likes film club vibes or you want them exposed to something beyond Marvel, this works. If they're expecting action movies, skip it.

What happens if it rains?

The screening moves indoors to the CCCB's Hall.

Is there food and drink at the venue?

Yes, a bar opens with the doors at 9pm, an hour before the film starts.

About

Gandules is the CCCB's open-air summer film season, screened on deckchairs in the Pati de les Dones courtyard. The 2026 program, curated with the museum's The Cult of Beauty exhibition, runs nine horror and dark-fantasy films about beauty and its pressures, in original version with Catalan subtitles. This edition suits film-loving older teens and parents on a night out rather than younger kids.

€5, under 16s free
